Fusarium Head Blight: a Summary of the South African Situation

In South Africa, the main causal organisms of Fusarium head blight (FHB) are Gibberella zeae (=Fusarium graminearum), F. culmorum and F. crookwellense. Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum are associated with warmer regions, and F. crookwellense with cooler regions. Sporadic FHB outbreaks occur principally in the irrigation areas of the country. In favourable years significant damage is caused....

Rgon: a Regional Strategy for Fusarium Head Blight Improvement

In the hard winter wheat region of the Great Plains, Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a sporadic disease. Drought is more common than rain at flowering, however, within the region, rain at and after flowering often occurs in some parts of the region leading to severe FHB in localized areas. Hence the need to identify lines with FHB tolerance is needed, but most plant breeding programs have insuffi...

Variation for Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Triticum Dicoccoides

Head blight of wheat (FHB, scab) caused by Fusarium spp. is a severe fungal disease problem worldwide. Apart from yield and grain quality losses, the contamination of the harvest with toxic fungal metabolites, known as mycotoxins, is of serious impact. In spite of the fact that several sources for resistance against FHB have been found and utilized in hexaploid wheat, virtually no resistant tet...
